Case Study: Cirque du Soleil achieves 75% faster salary renewals and global payroll compliance with SAP SuccessFactors

Cirque du Soleil Putting Employees Center Stage with Digital HR Innovation

Cirque du Soleil faced the challenge of managing a highly mobile, diverse global workforce and complex local payroll requirements that were strained by spreadsheets and slow manual processes. To modernize HR and support employees everywhere, Cirque du Soleil chose SAP SuccessFactors, deploying solutions including SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central, Compensation, Workforce Analytics and the SAP SuccessFactors Mobile app.

SAP SuccessFactors delivered a cloud-based, localized HR platform with self-service mobile access, single sign-on, and centralized compensation tools, enabling proper payroll compliance across pay models and countries. The result: annual salary renewals and employee updates now take two weeks instead of two months (about 75% less time), newly acquired employees can be onboarded in one day, data quality and error rates have fallen, and Cirque du Soleil can track key workforce metrics more effectively.
